Being new to the Appalachian trail I purchase this data book. Overall good. I don't use it because the mileages are not referenced from the ends of the Appalachian trail they are referenced from the state lines. Consequently they don't match any other guide or video or book. What a shame. I like the size of the book but for me the mileage values make it not my choice. Why not add Nobo and Sobo measurements so it could be used for referencing from books and videos. I would also like to see two indexes one index alphabetical for all points on the trail and mileage index from start to finish.
This is a handy and light weight tool for planning and carrying with you. Lighter than the AT Guide, but still effecting in knowing distance, shelters, water, and other critical information along the way. I wish it had some GPS coordinates in it, but otherwise spot on.
This was a great way to find out where water sources are along the trail. My only complaint is that there isn't a lot of detail. I've seen one of the books that covered a specific section of the trail and it had much more detail; however, the cost of buying all of the detail books would be much more than buying this book that covers the entire trail. I also didn't like how the mileage counter in the book was for the entire trail. The detailed books reset the mileage between each section - I personally like that much better.
When I purchased my thru hilkers companion had this and the AWOL guide listed as frequently bought together. after going out to the AT and meeting lots of people I learned no one buys this book and I only did like a idiot on the recommendation of . It's great to start a fire but only useful for that. everyone on the trail has EITHER Awol or the ATC companion...not both and certainly not all 3
You can get pretty much all this information online. Get the A.T. Guide by AWOLF instead. Way better.
Good book but the AT Guide from awol is better.
I've been buying one of these every year for over 10 years to use when I section hike the Appalachian trail and had the best price, with free shipping too due to my purchasing this along with other items I needed.
Husband said this was indispensable for his multi day hike of the Georgia section of the AT.
